SIR LAMBERT BLACKWELL,
ENVOY TO THE GREAT DUKE OF TUSCANY.

Macky.  He affects much the gentleman in his dress, and the minister in his conversation:  Is very lofty, yet courteous, when he knows his people; much envied by his fellow merchants.—­Swift.  He seemed to be a very good-natured man.

MR. [Dr.] AGLIONBY,
ENVOY TO THE SWISS CANTONS.

Macky.  He hath abundance of wit, and understands most of the modern languages well; knows how to tell a story to the best advantage; but has an affected manner of conversation; is thin, splenetic, and tawny complexioned, turned of 60 years old.—­Swift.  He had been a Papist.

MR. D’AVENANT, AGENT AT FRANKFORT.

Macky.  A very giddy-headed young fellow, with some wit; about 25 years old.—­Swift.  He is not worth mentioning.

JOHN, LORD CUTTS.

Macky.  He hath abundance of wit, but too much seized with vanity and self-conceit; he is affable, familiar, and very brave; ... towards 50 years old.—­Swift.  The vainest old fool alive.

HENRY, EARL OF GALWAY.

Macky.  One of the finest gentlemen in the army, with a head fitted for the cabinet, as well as the camp; is very modest, vigilant, and sincere; a man of honour and honesty, [Swift, in all directly otherwise;] without pride or affectation; wears his own hair, is plain in his dress and manners, towards 60 years old.—­Swift.  A deceitful, hypocritical, factious knave; a damnable hypocrite, of no religion.

GEORGE, EARL OF ORKNEY.

Macky.  He is a very well-shaped black man; is brave; but, by reason of a hesitation in his speech wants expression.—­Swift.  An honest good-natured gentleman, and hath much distinguished himself as a soldier.

MR. JAMES STANHOPE [AFTERWARDS EARL STANHOPE],
ENVOY EXTRAORDINARY TO THE STATES GENERAL.

Macky.  He is a man of honour,... and pleases the Dutch.  His son, Colonel Stanhope, is one of the finest young gentlemen we have; is very learned, with a great deal of wit. ...  A handsome [Swift, ugly] black man.

SIR CHARLES O’HARA [AFTERWARDS LORD TYRAWLEY],
LIEUTENANT-GENERAL.

Macky.  At the Revolution he had a company in the foot-guards; was afterwards lieutenant-colonel to that regiment; was made colonel to the fusileers, and gradually advanced to the post he now hath, which he well deserves, being of good understanding, and abundance of learning; fit to command, if not too covetous; he is a short, black man, 50 years old.—­Swift.  His father was a groom; he was a man of sense, without one grain of honesty.

COLONEL MATTHEW AYLMER [AFTERWARDS LORD AYLMER],
VICE-ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET.

Macky.  He hath a very good head, indefatigable and designing; is very zealous for the liberties of the people, makes a good figure in the Parliament, as well as the fleet.—­Swift.  A virulent party man, born in Ireland.
